An Agricultural Pest Which Promises to
Cause Serious Damage.

An Agricultural Pest Which Promises to
Cause Serious Damage.
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. 30.-The secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture is in receipt of q
very discouraging report from Professor Forbes,
the State Entomologist. in reference to the very
general distribution of chinch- bugs throughout
the State. The Professor has made very
thorough investigation concerning the location
and extent of the presence of this pest, and his
conclusions briefly summed up as follows:
Very destructive in thirty counties. large num-
bers in sixteen others, in moderate numbers in
seventeen, and in numbers not especially inju-
rious, but sufficient to threaten harm another
year. IN twenty five. while from thirteen coun-
ties it is reported practically absent. As the
weather conditions throughout the greater part
of the State have thus far been peculiarly favor
able its multiplication, people will be able to
estimate the gravity OF the danger threatened
the agriculture of the State.

permanent injunction in the of the
Central Union Telephone Company, whose poles
and wires were being removed from the streets
by order of the Council He granted a tempo
rary injunction last week. He said the question
was simply one of municipal power, whether
the city could grant corporations the right to
permanently occupy the streets and alleys with
such distractions poles and wires. and be
could find no law to sustain such an act on the
part of city council in this State, therefore he
should deny the motion for a permanent in
junction. The Judge said he was given TO I'M
derstand when the temporary restraining order
was granted. last week. that contract existed
between the city and the telephone company.
but he found no snch contract existing, which
further led him to believe that the telephone
company had no right to the public streets The
company is now sending out feelers for COM
promise with the citizens, but it was arbi-
trary in removing telephones when subscribers
refused to sign contra cts for the toll system,
that of them feel like compromising or
using the instruments of this company at

have been made to put in the CUshman tele-
phone, and also to continue the work of remov-
ing the poles and wires of the Central company.
